out four weeks under strike for higher wages,
the men returned to work last week. In the
interval the operators had run up the prices to
9 and 10 cents. which figures were maintained
when the men returned at the old wage scale.
But the return to work made no difference. prices
have been reduced, and the men now demand
that If the operators receive four cents moro per

this vicinity went ont this afternoon. The Cd.

about 800 men, and the strike is likely to be
of long duration.

LONDON, May 9.-The first reports of
the grounding of the French trans-Atlan-
tic steamer La Champaign. appear to
have been exaggerated. Later and more
trustworthy dispatches say that while
the La Champaign was proceeding slowly
during dense fog she came into coils
ion with an unknown sailing vessel. The
steamer was somewhat injured, and the
captain considered the damage sufficient
ly grave to beach her on the coast The
vessels cargo will probably be damaged,
but the baggage is intact The spot
where the steamer is beached is called

about three hours sail from Havre. The
shore is sandy, and in summer is used by

all the 200 passengers aboard the steam
ship La Champagne had been taken off
safely, but late this evening it was dis
covered that one boat containing thirty
five Italians was capsized, and its occu

manned it, were drowned. The vessel
with which the La Champagne collided
was the steamer Villa de Rio, not a sail

tant Treasurer and Secretary, James Nj.

In the Union Pacific inquiry to-day
James nj. Ham, treasurer OF the Kansas
Pacific in 1880 testified. Judge Dillon
asked if the securities accepted by the
Kansas and Pacific for Denver stock prov
ed profitable. Ham replied that every
one of them yielded an income. Almon
Goodman, the lawyer who conducted the
suit to take Denver Pacific stock out of
mortgage trust in 1880, testified that he
was employed by Sage and Gould and
urged to proceed as speedily as possible.

that he did not do it unless it was for the

son. The witness had heard something
to that effect. Albert s. Rosenbaum
stated that he had suit with the Union
Pacific last year. He read letters from
the Union Pacific Offering him very
small price for certain income bonds of
the Denver extension and claimed mis-
management of the road was the reason
for the depreciation of values.
Rosenbaum had been California ship
per for 20 years. He cited among the
acts OF the management damaging to the
values of the issuance of circular to
shippers saying in effect if they dared to
ship around the Horn their freight rates
over the Union Pacific would be doubled.
This had the effect of driving Rosenbaum
out of business in 1880.
The crOsS-eXamination Of Rosenbaum
brought out the fact that his bonds had
been bought at from 30 per cent to par,
and he had finally got 9o for them. He
had had Grand Island bonds that he paid
81 or SD for, and he got par for them
Therefore he ought to have more for
these. Rosenbaum stated that he had
had in 1878 $3.50, 900 of the first mortgage
| bonds of the st. Joe u Western, $3.50, 900
of the second mortgage bonds, and 1000
shares of stock in his safe. He had adj
